fastening into the Wheel-rim While the tire is drawn over 'the' latter. These means consist of a series of longitudinally-extending oblong recesses b', formed in the. parts a b of the wheel, each recess being adapted for the reception of one of the heads o. Into the recesses b open bores c c2 of the Wheel, adapted for the reception of the parts o '02, respectively. l

Whenthetire is to be applied, the'fasten` lng-s are placed into the openings b a a?, so as to be flush with the surface of the wheel. After the tire has been drawn over the Wheel the fastenings are pushed through the slittod vlayers gf e d until their heads o bear against strip p. The fastenings are then turned at right anglessand the prongs oZ are projected through the tire into rim l); Finally the nuts o3 are tightened up to securely attach the tire to the wheel. Owing to the tapering forni of prongs o2, ends of the'layers efg'toward each other, and f thereby close the gap between such ends.

It will be seen that my improved tire is of great strength,
